In the modern world computers and the Internet are getting more and more popular. Most people think they are very useful in their work and lives.
The first computer was born in 1946. It was very big and it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller, but they work faster and faster. What can computers do? Computers can do many things.
At the same time, our world is getting smaller and smaller with the Internet. The Internet came into the world about twenty-five years later than computers. It makes our lives easier. If you are far away in America, you can talk to your family on the Internet. If you want to read a good book, but you don't have time to buy it in the bookstore, you can read it on the Internet. You can also read newspaper, do some shopping, play games and make friends on it.
Many students like the Internet so much that they would not like to do anything else. They make friends on the Internet, but they may not see these friends. Some of the students are cheated by (受……的欺骗) the "unreal friends". Because of the Internet, some students can't work hard at their lessons. Many of them can't do as well as before in their studies. A few of them have to leave school.
We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But please remember, “Not all things are good for you.”
